What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beem Light Sauna's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the estimated low cost for the Initial FF&E Package is $11,900. This package includes essential equipment such as saunas, a red light system, a 42 to 50-inch touchscreen monitor, iPads, furniture, fixtures, décor, retail displays, and shelving. The estimate also covers delivery costs.
This initial estimate assumes that franchisees will finance the FF&E package through a third-party vendor using a lease-to-own or similar financing arrangement. The $11,900 figure accounts for a standard deposit (0% at the low end, 10% at the high end), lease documentation, origination and filing fees, and scheduled payments due within the first four months of operations, including the initial payment and three subsequent monthly payments.
However, if a franchisee chooses to purchase the Initial FF&E Package outright without financing, the cost will range from $148,500 to $195,500, payable directly to Beem Light Sauna. This represents a significantly higher upfront investment compared to financing. Prospective franchisees should carefully consider their financing options and capital availability when deciding how to acquire the Initial FF&E Package.
